About the event

Wayward Jane + GallowGrass
Wayward Jane’s music is a modern interpretation of American folk and Old Time traditions, blending roots music with fresh, nuanced arrangements and original songs. Their rich sound features fiddle, clawhammer banjo, double bass, guitar, wooden flute and close vocal harmonies. Wayward’s live shows have a joyful energy, expressing the fine musicianship and playful chemistry of the four long-time friends. Ranging in mood from bouncing, energetic tunes to tender and soulful songs, Wayward Jane tend to leave audiences with a glow in their hearts.

Wayward Jane have appeared together at folk clubs and festivals across the land, touring extensively in the UK and Ireland. They were recently featured live in session on BBC Radio Scotland’s Travelling Folk where Bruce MacGregor remarked “they’re just that bit different from anything else happening in Scotland!” The band are busy members of the Edinburgh traditional music scene, playing in bands such as Brothers Gillespie, Dowally and Michael Starkey & Hannah Read, as well as collaborating with artists such as Rachel Baiman, Phil Alexander (Moishe’s Bagel) and Hog-Eyed Man. They have released three albums - “Wayward Jane”, “Old Train”, and “The Flood”. The latter has led to rave reviews, plays in Radio 6Music, a live performance on BBC Radio 4’s “Loose Ends”, and a slot in Celtic Connections 2025.

“Wayward Jane demonstrate folk’s willingness to comment on current issues, in this case the multitude of issues prompting global crises. Timeless in its sound, yet palpably current in its narrative, this is a potently contemporary and soulful listen” - Songlines

“Their music glows with authenticity in sound and spirit as it traverses different genres while never losing sight of their own roots” - Folk Radio UK

“This is music to relish” - Americana UK

"Wayward Jane weaves a gorgeous tapestry of heart wrenching vocals and tasteful, informed instrumentation. I could listen to these guys all day!" - Rachel Baiman

GallowGrass are regulars on the music scene in Dumfries & Galloway. Nathon Jones (Dobro, Guitar, Banjo & Vocals), Rhona Jones (Vocals), Roger Whitham (Double Bass & Vocals), Graham Rodger (Guitar & Vocals), Billy Jones (Mandola & Vocals), Jack Trainer (Bodhran) and Easy (Harmonica & Vocals) perform their own unique, heavily bluegrass influenced, style with a mixture of original songs & tunes and arrangements of some of their collective bluegrass favourites.
